Tonight at Anfield Stadium, Liverpool fans once again tasted the thrilling experience of previous seasons, shouting that they urgently need a quick-acting life-saving pill! With a 3-0 lead, Red Bull Salzburg scored three goals in a row. Liverpool's most powerful weapon, the impregnable defense, collapsed. Fortunately, Liverpool's offensive line continued their efforts and scored another goal. In the end, they narrowly won 4-3, which was regarded as their first victory in the Champions League this season.

Obviously, such a victory is rarely seen by Liverpool fans, especially at Anfield Stadium, where it is almost impossible to see it. After the introduction of Van Dijk in the winter window of 2018, Liverpool's defense was upgraded and became the most powerful weapon in winning the Champions League and the Premier League last season with 97 points and the highest score as runner-up. Unfortunately, Liverpool has conceded 5 goals in the two Champions League group matches this season. Such statistics are really shocking. Especially Van Dijk, after sending a fatal return pass in the away game to Naples, was beaten by South Korean star Hwang Hee-chan in this game. In addition, Gomez, who seemed to be sleepwalking, made Liverpool's defense even more like paper, almost leading to a reverse Istanbul miracle.

Statistics show that Liverpool lost three goals at home in the Champions League. The last time such a nightmare occurred was on October 22, 2014, when they faced Real Madrid at Anfield in the third round of the group stage. Cristiano Ronaldo scored and Benzema scored twice. The Red Army lost 0-3 at home. After 1,806 days, Liverpool suffered the humiliation of conceding 3 goals at home in the Champions League again. A little consolation is that Liverpool won 4-3 at Anfield tonight. It should be pointed out that Liverpool lost 0-3 at home to Real Madrid, which was also the last time the Red Army lost at Anfield so far. Including tonight's Champions League match, Liverpool's past 23 home results are 17 wins and 6 draws. It is the home performance that is guaranteed. Klopp led the team to the finals in the 2015-2016 Europa League and the last two seasons of the Champions League.

Conceding 3 goals in this game also ended Liverpool's record of 5 consecutive UEFA Champions League home games without a clean sheet. The last time Liverpool was defeated by a visiting team at home in the Champions League was in the first round of the Champions League group stage last season, when they defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 at home. The results of the five subsequent Champions League home games were 4-0 Red Star Belgrade, 1-0 Napoli, 0-0 Bayern Munich, 2-0 Porto and 4-0 Barcelona. They conceded 2 goals in the first home game of the Champions League last season and conceded 3 goals in the first home game of the Champions League this season. Is Liverpool about to usher in a reincarnation?
